Sorry @jessicakrall8 I haven't got any partner yet. I haven't recieved any messages but have noticed that unless I am already friend with someone I don't get any messages, so if anyone has tried to contact me I am not ignoring you but I haven't seen it. Anybody would like to join the walking challenge and be my partner? Please?

I need to get back to tracking walking (walking generally), so sure. I'll make a point to get steps in.

I'm excusing myself today because every muscle in my body is crying mama.

I had a bunch of winter deadfall that the city ignored (picked up everyone else's) and the lawn waste guys wouldn't take because it was huge. So I spent 7-8 hours this week breaking and clipping branches, stuffing lawn waste bags and, eventually, sawing up "branches" the size of my thighs. Once the big stuff was sawed (sawn?) up, they had to be bundled with twine so the lawn waste people would take it. Then they didn't take it and got yelled at and had to come back.

Then I dragged the big mower out to mow, had to fight to start it and lost. Finally had enough of it and went out and bought an electric. Assembled, charged and hey, the front lawn got mowed! Had to do it in two chunks as the battery ran out (probably didn't get a full charge, as I am impatient).

While buying the mower, I got distracted by plants and came home with hostas, tomatoes, cucumbers, rosemary and marigolds. So, I dug four big holes (hubs dug two) and put down hostas. I tried to grow hostas last year from rootballs and it was a dramatic failure...only the four big ones (blue angels) I bought survived winter and I wanted an even ten across the side of the house (the other six are Christmas Tree and Patriot, three of each). Also planted the tomatoes and a marigold. I also planted the rosemary but I'm rethinking that...I think it should be in the house and it c was lavender I wanted to plant there but didn't buy...

So...I'm sore and that means a spike and...well, no. So I'm excused.

The Week 3 Group Challenge is open and ready to begin on Sunday, Apr 14th. Please join us for the Partner Up Walking Challenge! Find your partner and send me a message containing your names and your team name! Here's your link:

I think Ashley set a goal of 1.75 million which is more than last month's 1.6 million and some change. We would need 437,500K per week and were well over that in the first week. What do you guys think?

As @minstrelofsarcasm said...it sounds like a lot, but something as simple as parking a little further than normal, getting up from your desk to go to a different bathroom than you usually do, inviting a friend to go for a walk and catch up... there's a ton of ways to get in a couple hundred more steps and more. A little bit goes a long way. We've got this![/quote]

Yes, let’s go for it!!

Steps for the week. Really mad at myself as put my watch on charge yesterday am and forgot to put it on all day so have ruined my target for the week 😵‍💫. Won’t do that again 🤣

I caught COVID. May I please be excused for this and next week?

@cedarfoxy
You got it, feel better!

Maybe I should also weigh myself more regularly so that I see myself heading in the wrong direction. This week might not have been so bad.
